Accommodation Katowice - there are many hotels in Katowice. Katowice is the center city of Silesia. You should stay here, so you can easily travel to other neighbourhood cities. One of the best hotels in Katowice is Hotel Monopol Katowice.

Apart from being the principle science and educational centre of the region, this lively city with its tall buildings comparable to Warsaw in number, offers a wide range of entertainment that can compensate for the rarity of sights. Most buildings reflect the architecture of the communist period, though there are several remnants of its 19th century impressiveness and numerous examples of modern architecture from 1920s and 1930s. Many buildings' design was influenced by Bauhaus and De Stijl, as well as Le Corbusier's ideas. There are also two unique districts of Katowice, which are really worth a visit: a historical worker's area Nikiszowiec and Giszowiec, designed as garden-town. One characteristic landmark of the city is Spodek (literally "saucer", since it resembles a UFO flying saucer), a great hall used for many purposes, including the biggest rock concerts in Poland.
